Instructions

1

Prepare the basic waffle batter: mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt), then work in milk, egg, and melted butter until lump-free.

Tip: For savoury waffles, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter for extra piquancy.
2

Cook waffles until golden brown in the hot iron.

Tip: Crispiness is key here to counterbalance the creamy lobster salad.
3

Cut the lobster meat into rough chunks (not too small, so you feel the bite).

Tip: Lobster fibres are delicate, cut with a sharp knife, don't crush.
4

Mix lobster with mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped chives, and pepper.

Tip: Lemon acidity 'cuts through' the mayonnaise richness and highlights seafood flavour.
5

Heap the salad onto fresh baked waffles and serve immediately.

Tip: Decorate with lemon slices and fresh herbs.
